During this time of year, and especially in this economy, I am reminded of how financially blessed that I am. I have more than enough money to meet all of my needs as well as be able to give some away. Mr. Savvy and I tithe as well as donate money and time to a variety of organizations throughout the year. However, I realize the holiday season can be especially stressful for those who may be in dire financial straits.
There is an organization in our community that provides Thanksgiving meals and Christmas gifts for families in need. I make it a point to provide for at least two families each year. While I agree that assistance is probably needed throughout the year, I can’t imagine not being able to do something simple like have a nice Thanksgiving dinner for your family.
Do you give of your time and/or money at this time of year, or any other? If not, why not?
